TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can return to Penang for a new tourist visa after previously receiving three visas there. They express concerns about conflicting advice regarding the limits on tourist visas and seek guidance on potential options before their current visa expires. Responses from the community suggest alternatives such as going to other locations like Laos for the visa application, as returning to Penang could result in complications, such as the risk of receiving a refusal stamp.

There is no official limit in Penang and you can use them until you pull a red warning stamp then you're done.

I wouldn't trust anything anything an embassy, an agent or the immigration office says :O but that's just me.

I can say with 100% certainty right now there is NO official rule and people who say there is, are pulling imaginary rules out of their backsides. :/

what is the reason you want to hit the thai consulate in Penang again?

You run a HIGH risk of getting the red warning stamp meaning you can't use Penang again for a tourist visa.

Go to Laos or other embassy location

keep in mind a tourist visa is VALID for 3 months meaning you have that long to enter the country but you will only be stamped in for 60 days
